More On DTS

Today's audio standards are moving towards multi-channel
sound, like DTS and Dolby Digital. While the Audio-CD
standard (Red Book) hasn't changed to accommodate these
new sound formats, it is still possible to go around the
specification and to put a 5.1 surround recording on a
regular Audio-CD. To play a DTS-Audio-CD you must connect
your DVD/CD player via a digital cable (optical or coaxial)
to your DTS Dolby-Digital receiver. It is not 100% sure
that your receiver will recognize a DTS-Audio CD, so the
first time you're trying to playback a DTS-Audio-CD you
must do a test to determine if it can. Begin with the
volume very low, start the disc and raise the volume
gradually. NEVER listen to a DTS-Audio-CD through the
analog audio outputs of your CD/DVD player.

Burning Instructions

Burn them the absolute same way as you would burn any
normal Audio-CD from FLAC files.

Thank you to Charlie Miller for the SBD transfer,
to Charlie Connor for recording and transferring the AUD,
to Mr. B. for verifying the pitch,
and to Ron (a.k.a. gratefulydeadicated) for suggesting such great sources to matrix!

Matrix by Hunter Seamons using Final Cut Pro (SHN & FLAC>AIFF>Final Cut>WAV>FLAC) 
August 24, 2008


Notes:

1) Vocals a little hot in Good Times (or they are just singing really loud, which is cool). Hot show. Underrated? Probably.

2) There are cuts in the AUD between songs, and for the latter half Space. There are also some small AUD cuts during the very beginning or end of some songs.

3) Bob sings "Come on, Georgia!," I think, at 2:04 in Saturday Night - not sure why. It's OHIO, Bobby!

Some major patching (including first notes) before Blow Away and Loser and Space.  Speedwise the audience was quite fast when compared to other recordings - .900 seconds per minute fast.

Taper Notes:

View NotesI was chasing the "Dew", didn't get one in Ann Arbor, so we went down to Cincy
to record the Boys. No Dew, but a quite interesting show. I know there are multiple 
versions from different recorded sources for this show. However, I thought I'd offer this 
up as I used a 4 Mic configuration that would be a bit unique. The recording came out 
very well. Enjoy.
